Does anyone have any idea as to why I am unable to boot off a SCSI device,
by telling the bootloader on the CD hd:0 as what it should boot?

I am doing "boot cd:,ofwboot.elf hd:0"

hd seems to be aliased to a disk, so is there some reason why it wouldn't
work?  Please read below for more information.

I seem to be having the same problem as you. I installed on a scsi drive. I
can mount the drive and see the files if i boot to the CD but I cant boot
the scsi drive! ahh! let me know if you get anywhere.
